Senior Living Apartments in Hartville, OH

I've been here 5.5 years. I am very independent and do all my own daily activities, but Brookdale does all the cooking and cleaning. I still drive on my own too. I like it here a lot!

I am confident we chose the best place for Mom when we picked Brookdale. The cleanliness of the facility is excellent. Mom is not always 100% satisfied with how her room is cleaned, but she's always been a meticulous housekeeper, and her expectations are very high in that regard. I see no problems. One thing that's indisputable is the friendliness of the staff. It was the first thing I noticed during my initial tour, and my subsequent experience proves it was not just for show. Everyone is kind, welcoming, courteous, friendly AND professional. They treat Mom like a member of the family. Exceptional! I am very happy with the quality of care; not just the care that Mom gets directly, but the fact that I am always kept abreast of any new developments. The nursing staff has never failed to answer my questions and address my concerns with saintly patience. The attention to Mom's physical, mental, and emotional needs is outstanding. The food is excellent in quality, preparation, and variety. The staff has been kind enough to let me join Mom for meals on occasion, so I can vouch for this first hand. Portions are generous; Mom said she almost always has something left over because she was too full to eat it. I gave a 3 for activities because there is not a lot of variety from day to day. This may be because their activities director quit abruptly and has not been replaced yet. I hope they will do crafts and at least bi-weekly outings when they find a new one. I consider our value for money a 5 because we were lucky enough to get a permanent discount for moving Mom in during the winter. At normal price, I'd be tempted to give a 4 until the activities improve, and then a 4+. The base price is higher than the Ohio average, and extra fees can really add up. Please note, though, I am not dissatisfied, nor do I have any complaints. The most important thing is that Mom says it's a great place to live. She misses her friends and her old life, but aside from that she is content and happy with Brookdale and all it has to offer.

I love my apartment at Glenwood Assisted Living. I love I live close to my car and come and go when I want. My family visits anytime they want (if I'm home). The staff is so kind - I refuse to leave my place of serenity.
